Programs Go Uncut

"Secondly, as a public institution with
a large private endowment, we haven't
had to cut back on academic programs as
some schools have," he added.

"This is the first year we will be a fully
coeducational institution with no quotas
on the admission of women," Mr. Ern
said, "and 38 per cent of our applications
came from women."

As of March 1, the University had
received 8,790 applications for the 1972
first-year class.

Including applications from high
school students and from those seeking
transfer from other institutions, the
University had received a total of 10,600
applications.
